Concluding integration Fraser Watts.There has recently been much interest in the relationship between science and religion, and how they combine to give us a 'binocular' perspective on things. One important phenomenon which has been neglected in recent work is the concept of spiritual healing. This edited collection explores a variety of approaches to spiritual healing from different religious points of view, identifying both what it is and how it works. The authors also explore the biological and psychological processes, open to scientific enquiry, through which healing may be mediated. As such, this book indicates the central proposition that religious and scientific perspectives answer different questions about healing, and there is not necessarily any conflict between them.Spiritual healingHealingReligious aspectsChristianityMedicineReligious aspectsChristianityHealingReligious aspectsMedicineReligious aspectsReligion and scienceSpiritual healing.HealingReligious aspectsChristianity.MedicineReligious aspectsChristianity.HealingReligious aspects.MedicineReligious aspects.Religion and science.203/.1Watts Fraser N1092340MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910817762203321Spiritual healing4189897UNINA
